although it is better not to stop it suddenly. The infusion of 

 Acacia pycnantha does not usually immediately arrest tlie 

 diarrhoea. Errors in dieting must, of course, be corrected, and 

 attention to hygienic requirements is necessary in all cases, or 

 no remedy will be successful. In the winter-diarrhoea of infants 

 1 have not found the remedy to be so efficacious. It is useful in 

 other forms of diarrhoea, but I do not think it should be used in 

 any inflammatory conditions. In dysentery its effect is not so 

 marked, ami though useful, I think we have better remedies. 

 In sore eyes, catarrhal ophthalmia, it is a favourite remedy in 

 the country. I have used it with success in such cases. In a 

 ease of granular lids I think the patient benefited from its 

 use, although under ordinary treatment his disease had remained 

 stationary. In true diphtheria it is unreliable ; but in those 

 cases where there is a deposit upon the tonsils, diphtheric in 

 character, but unaccompanied by the characteristic symptoms 

 of blood-poisoning, it seems when used as a gargle or as a 

 glycerole painted upon the pharynx and tonsils to be very 

 useful. In sore throat, simple angina, it is valuable. It makes 

 a fine gargle for relaxed throat, and more especially for that 

 form of sore throat which is rendered less painful by eating a 

 meal. I have mixed two drachms of the tincture with an ounce 

 of glycerine, and have found a useful application for otorrhoea 

 (running at the ears), for chapped lips, and slight fissures of 

 various kinds. I have used it also in ozoena. It is very useful 

 for sore nipples in nursing mothers. I do not think it is so 

 useful in this form as the glycerine of tannic acid, but it makes 

 an excellent substitute for it. In sweating feet, it is a good 

 plai\ to steep them occasionally in a strong infusion of the 

 bark. In typhoid fever it has on one or two occasions seemed 

 to check what appeared to be an incipient attack. But we 

 have a much better remedy in baptism. I used it in one case 

 of typhoid fever for haemorrhage from the bowels with apparent 

 success. The remedy ought to be useful in haemoptysis (spit- 

 ting of blood), haematernesis (vomiting of blood). It deserves 

 a trial in all discharges from a mucous membrane, as leuco- 

 rrhoea, &c, &c. I have been informed that the gum of the 

 wattle, taken internally, is a useful remedy for piles. It is 

 used in veterinary practice in the country for wounds and raw 

 shoulders. I have tried it occasionally, and feel encouraged 

 by the results. It is more generally of advantage in indolent 

 ulcers and wounds that want a little gentle bracing-up. It is 

 a s^ood remedy for eczema where there is much weeping, and is 

 really admirable for intertrigo (that is, the chafing of the skin 

 of an infant) that occurs in the folds of the skin and about 

 the nates. It ought to be useful for the arrest of venous 

 haemorrhage from the surface, but I have not yet given it a
